A little bit of finish doesn't go amiss. Switch gear feeling plasticky and all of that is letting them down imo.
I don't want absolute luxury but a little comfort.

There was a nice comfortable seat but where the radio and controls for the fans are back behind you. The covers around controls felt like timber.

When you are paying the prices of tractors nowadays you have a right to expect/demand a decent level of finish and comfort in the cab.

as long as she'd be a good solid machine i wouldn't mind about the extra comfort as im a tm, fiat fan

As long as they stay going is what I look for. Because mechanics are busy and hard to find. Besides contractors and tillage 500hrs would keep most busy.

I hear JD only want one main dealer for the whole country. TFM are in the pipeline to come up with 55m to buy all the others out. I'll leave you figure out where the 55m will eventually come from.

Surely that will be the death of them outside of that greater region?? Maybe it's already happened? folks will buy what is generally most convenient to them.

You mean driving experience off them?? know a local plant contractor who i worked with over the years had 3 off them new back in the mid nineties. absolutely unbreakable they were and ahead off their time in some ways.

would have seen more drivers than a bumping car and still always came off safe.a great wee tractor in my opinion.

Neighbor that’s a bale contractor has two, he only bought the second one a couple of years ago.
Unbreakable.
They’d have to be unbreakable for the same man because he was asking them to do work of tractors twice the size.
Unbreakable indeed.

Does anyone here know where there is a fault code manual for a beta power engine?

Got spn 402; fmi 2 coming up.

So FMI 2 is data erratic, intermittent or incorrect.
Can't find what the spn number relates to. I thought someone posted a link to a fault code booklet on this thread but I can't get it through the search.
Anyone able to post up a link?

Have a look in the old machinery thread https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057412449&page=667

Or else try a google search with + pdf at the end

Did they forget to put the handbrake on in the Case?



Anyone know why tri-axle trailers can only carry the same gross weight as a dual axle setup? I thought it would be approx. 1/3 more as the load would be spread across an additional axle. Was looking at some 14' tri axles but am put off by not being able to put on a full load of cattle for hauling with tractor.

Are you talking about an Ifor Williams or the like? It's to do with the hitch as opposed to the number of axles.

Didn't know that! Can you uprate the coupling and if so how to you go about re-rating them?

Lot more lads on here more qualified to answer that but I would say that it's not the most straightforward thing to do, particularly with regards to certifying it at a higher weight limit. What would happen in the event of an accident is the first thing I would ask myself!

That's only the yard scraper tractor out there.

New trailer has been christened

Base price

I got a field rolled yesterday that we out wintered 5 yearling on. Ground conditions were perfect and it rolled well. It's the one job that you need the conditions just right especially with the weather that we have at the moment. One day early and you could make tracks, a day later and it's gone too dry.
